October 21st: Important Rule Change for all uploaders: Paid content is now always DNP regardless of age. Please see this thread for more details.

October 19th: We recently added the ability to report posts to help ensure admin attention can be better directed to submissions that require them. See here for more details.

October 18th: Since it has come up recently: Please do not tag Pokémon or Digimon as their real world counterparts, but only as the family. Eg persian is not a cat but a feline, renamon is not a fox but a canine, etc.

This is purely to ensure that actual "real" animals can be found without having all those fantasy animals show up as well.

Pokémon is a media franchise consisting of games, television series, and other media centering around the collection and battling of various creatures. It is also the name for those creatures as a collective species. According to the manga, all Pokémon are considered to be one species and the various types are something more akin to breeds.

Additionally, different types of Pokémon can reproduce together. Remember to use protection.

Note that fictional named species such as Pokémon should not be tagged as specific real life animals, though broad categories such as canine and rodent can be applied.

And as usual, Pokémon are tagged on image-to-image basis by TWYS. For example, Mareep should not be tagged as sheep, but the caprine tag applies if what can be seen resembles one.
